Growing with Michael Vincent

I have been meaning to post for the past few weeks, but unfortunately my laptop is currently not working. I really need to get on that and fix it so I can start sharing some of my wonderful pictures I have of Michael.

A little over two weeks ago Michael had his cardiologist appointment to check on his PDA and the leakage in his heart. As they said the first time he had his echo cardiogram, that his PDA should close, it has! We are thrilled, yay Michael! The leak in his heart has also stopped. The only thing we discovered was that he does have a flow murmur. This is nothing to worry about because it has nothing to do with the physical aspect of his heart. It is the blood flow through his heart and it has a murmur, which is perfectly normal. We found out about 24% of the population have this.

His cardiologist is such a wonderful doctor and very personable. She made us feel very comfortable at our visit and treated our baby as if he was one of hers. I was told that he would not require a follow up because our little boy has a PERFECT heart. I was feeling very blessed after this visit. God had answered my prayers with beautiful news that our boy is in perfect physical shape thus far.

While we were at this visit we found out Michael was up to 8 lbs 14 oz. Our baby is thriving! He is finally able to fit into his 0-3 & 3 month clothing. As happy as I am about this, it also makes me sad that he no longer is the tiny peanut that was put in my arms on 2/24/13. But of course, Mike and I look very forward to watching him grow each and everyday.

Today April 8th, Michael has his evaluation with Early Intervention. It is a very important day for him and us as his parents. We look forward to learning more about our baby and how we can help him grow and reach his milestones.

As always we are constantly pushing our sweet boy to work on all of his skills. Hoping you all have a wonderful Monday and I will be in touch soon after Michaels evaluation.
